MRS. CLEvELAND's AMBITION.
She Wants Second Term, and She
Has Influence With the President.

She Wants a Second Term, and She
Has Influence With the President.
From, Washington Letter to the Boston Post
Il am surprised at the avidity with which the
newspapers of the country swallow the state
ment that the President has expressed himself
as satisfied with one term, and that he will not
allow his name to be used again" said gentle
man from Buffalo TO your correspondent to-day.
Il do not believe that the idea of standing for
second nomination ever occurred to him when
he wrote his celebrated letter TO Mr.. Curtis. At
that time he was in a condition to be contented
with a single term. But events have ripened in
the last two years, and besides he is married now
and the possession of a wife often changes
mans intentions entirely"
Have you any reason to believe that Mr..
Cleveland really does desire renOminatiOnEn
Il have not put the question direct to him,
but know absolutely, from very recent CON
versations, that he has very well defined de-
sire to test his policy on the country. He has
that feeling, so common in men in public
office, to test the sense of the people on the
manner in which he has fulfilled the trust
imposed upon him. This feeling is a most
natural one. Besides this it win be remem-
bered that a great deal has been said from
time to time concerning the great dissatisfac-
ton alleged to exist in Erie county, n. Y
over his course. The President desires to
know absolutely whether this dissatisfaction
is as widespread as it is said to be-"
ITO what did you allude when you referred to
his marriage as having possibly changed his
ideas in reference to a second ternl?"
Simply this. Ny daughter and Frank Fol
som were old schoolnates. They are still init
mate friends. Mrs. Cleveland has made no Sc
cret among her friends of her desire to continue
as the mistress of the White House for another
four years after her husbands first term as
President expires. You may set it down as a
certainty that the President will be guided
largely.by the wishes of his wife in this mat

Bancroft Nominated Polk.

Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune
Opportunities were improved for private con-
versationS with Mr.. Bancroft. His long and use
full life had given him advantages in knowing
and acting parts in the countrys history never
recorded, which are as so many solid links left
out of an anchor chain. incidentally remarked
that he and Mr., Polk were special friends and
he replied: 80, yes, knew him before he be-
came President. If the truth was told. it would
be that not only suggested him for the Presi-
dency, but advocated his fitness and avaia-
bility until his nomination was assured Van
Buren, was candidate. you remember, but he
was opposed bitterly, and then Gen Cass. of
Michigan, was fought so vigorously in return that
] saw neither could get the two-tnrds necessary
to a nomination. True, Van Buren, received
bare majority hut he should not except as
compliment | liked Cass and should have sup
ported him heartily but ! saw he could not over
come the opposition. knew Polk and his
strong qualities. New York was for Cass but
readily accepted Polk on realizing the strength
of opposition to its favorite. Then went to the
kentuckey delegation. II was quite willing to
vote for Mr.. Polk The mention OF his name To
the TennesseeanS was sufficient" did you put
him In nomination. 90 no. ] did not nomi-
nate him because my State was too weak. II
